IMPORTANT READ ME
Reading this will help you decide whether or not this novel is for you:
He won't end up with every single woman, just a select few—around 3 to 4. He'll have different relationships with each member and act differently around them. Not every member will be infatuated with him or even like him as a person; some may join for personal goals (for example, a vampire who finds his blood tastes good for an unknown reason).
Everyone has goals, even those you might think don't have any (like Mary Grace, who simply joined for booze).
The world-building will be extensive, so the frequency of updates may vary, at times, possibly limited to 7 chapters per week, usually 14 chapters per week. This is because of the complexity involved in detailing each island, each with its own language, significant events, technology, social hierarchy, traditions, monsters, curses, lore-history, and fashion. Additionally, I have to plan out entire story arcs in advance to ensure quality, covering aspects such as characters, challenges faced by the crew on the island, outcomes, antagonists, and mysteries.
Incorporating angels, demons, gods, various monsters, technological creatures, mutations, artifacts, races, and systems might seem overwhelming for a single novel. However, not everything will be immediately disclosed or be the primary focus. It'll be intriguing—some rival pirate crews might comprise members such as monsters, demons, mutants, or other entities, making them more challenging opponents.
Even though Jack will have a ship full of women with diverse abilities, not all will possess great powers. Take Foureyes, for instance, a knowledgeable nerd with a remarkable memory (not a superpower but a real-world skill) who excels in certain areas.
Some chapters consist of flashbacks seamlessly woven into the current plot, providing emotional character backstories. Additionally, certain chapters might feature brief flashbacks (ranging from 200 to 500 words), aiding in recalling previous interactions and events within the crew.
Occasionally, I'll transition the point of view from Captain Jack to other crew members (moderately) to narrate their individual roles in the story. For instance, Jack and a crew member might become separated from the rest, allowing for a different perspective on the events.
There might be edits to characters not yet introduced or their removal based on your feedback.
Now, I'll shamelessly mention this. If you send a castle gift (ranging from $30 to $70 depending on your location), you'll have the option to add a side character, provide opinions on characters not yet included, or suggest an island you'd like to see (let your imagination roam free).
For those who send multiple castles or higher gifts, you can choose who Jack ends up with, and I'll tailor the plot according to your preferences (though it might take 50 to 100 chapters to successfully alter the storyline).
This is undoubtedly shameless, but you're under no obligation to send anything. It's my way of engaging with fans, offering fan service, and possibly earning additional funds to, well, procure rum and wenches, of course.
